Order, order!
Using AWS Lambda with the Todoist Sync API
TL; DR
A year ago, I took to AWS to solve a label ordering challenge in my productivity application Todoist. I’ve summarised it in this project page along with the outcome of this addition.
I recently revisited to see if the REST API was updated to allow reordering of items. It had not. The relevant property was read-only, and therefore, the functionality was still exclusive to the Sync API.
I took this as an opportunity to learn the Sync API for which there was an official Python library. Additionally, the need for an external library would allow me to experiment with AWS deployment packages and layers for Lambda.
